There’s a big push to find ways, or discover methods, of being a creative individual. It is presented as something innate that must be unlocked and there are certain avenues that will help get you there.

Forget the fact that creativity is so loosely defined that it’s difficult to measure in the first place.

How is it defined?

Ask a hundred people and I’m sure you’ll get a hundred answers.

Yet, when you go back and look at the most creative people we’ve had throughout history (across all disciplines), it was pretty simple:

Think about a problem, then look all around you for a solution… plus go for a daily walk. Think. Rest. Walk.

Then, the most important part, do the work.

Don’t think it needs to be any more complicated than that.
